Built for Tough Use with Kyosho OLW008

The Kyosho OLW008 - 5.8mm x 7mm Steel Ball Set puts hardened steel balls into service positions previously occupied by plastic, boosting component resilience during demanding runs.

Advantages of Steel Components

Steel offers superior wear resistance and load capacity versus plastic, which helps reduce play and maintains accurate steering and drivetrain response over time.

Good Choice for Bashing and Racing

These steel balls are tailored for both rough bashing and competitive use, providing reliable operation across mixed terrain without rapid degradation.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Are these balls compatible with 5.8mm x 7mm linkages?

Yes, they are produced to the 5.8mm x 7mm size and will fit linkages and sockets that accept that specification.

Do I need to change my maintenance routine after fitting steel balls?

You should keep the same service intervals but pay attention to lubrication and inspect for wear more suited to metal-on-metal contact.

Can these handle repeated jumps and hard landings?

Their hardened construction is better at resisting impact-related wear than plastic, making them appropriate for jump-heavy driving styles.

Will switching to steel affect other components?

In some setups steel can transfer more stress to mating parts, so inspect adjacent components and bearings when upgrading to metal parts.
